Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until set. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.

Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and crack the door, allowing the cheesecake to cool in the oven for about 1 hour.
